Barnsley taken over by Chinese billionaire. Another Championship team who are set to buy the title and we wont be able to compete with.

But surely we're better with a relative pauper as our owner, scrounging lower league players, loans and freebies?
But seriously, surely Norwich is potentially a better investment than, with respect, Barnsley?
I mean, we've mingled with the big boys on the top table for several seasons recently - Barnsley have made it there for one (1) season (1997/8) in their 130 year history?
But still she won't pick up the bloody phone, never mind get into dialogue with people to see if their interest is genuine and their plans viable <grr>

I'm sure THAT Times article has put anyone seriously interested off even considering investing.
Odd that we should another Chinese investor coming into the Championship - but look where Wolves finished last season and I think it was 19th!!!!

I am surprised there haven't been even any gossip of investors looking at our club. I think it would be a very attactive club to invest in.

Paul Clement Sacked by Swansea.

I know things have been awful there lately. But I really thought he'd get until January. They need a MASSIVE January transfer window. I would have thought with his contacts.... Thought they would hang on until then.

It has sounded and looked awful there though. Sounds like Norwich. If they see a shot on target, they all go mental with cheers and applause.

I really, really like Bristol City this season. Have looked fantastic. They are so lively, quick, positive. They have so many great players at a good age.

Really looked forward to seeing them play United tonight, looked like it could be an interesting game. Bristol have started very well first 15.

So, Bristol City take the lead, only for United to equalise a few minutes later.
